About Us

    The Essence of
    Artifice Graphics

    Our Journey

    From Grocery Aisles to Graphic Novels
    In 2012, Chad Taylor and Beau Biarnesen met while working at a grocery store in Waco, Texas. They quickly discovered a shared passion for storytelling and began crafting a unique story concept in their free time. Their creativity soon led them to Eva Love-Stone, a talented manga artist who joined as a co-founder. Together, they began developing the story in a visual format.
    However, life intervened, and the project was set aside. Now, in 2024, the team has reunited with renewed energy and determination. Artifice Graphics is back, focused on completing the story they once began—starting with a new, original series titled El Gato Diablo, launching soon on Webtoon.


    Our Mission

    Crafting Immersive Story Experiences Through Art
    At Artifice Graphics, we’re passionate about creating high-quality storytelling experiences that resonate. Our vision is to blend compelling narratives with vivid artwork to engage readers and bring unique worlds to life.

    Our Projects

    Current Project: El Gato Diablo

    The team’s first release, El Gato Diablo, is a dark, supernatural adventure following a demon-turned-cat on a quest for revenge and redemption. This Webtoon series is the first of many exciting projects Artifice Graphics has in store.

     

    The Original Story

    The story that Chad and Beau began in 2012 is still a core project for Artifice Graphics that is to be revealed at a later date. Although it’s in the development pipeline, it remains central to the team’s vision and will eventually be brought to life.

     

    Looking Ahead

    Artifice Graphics may be a small team, but our goals are big. We’re committed to creating a lasting impact in the world of storytelling by crafting immersive, high-quality narratives that captivate our audience. With El Gato Diablo as our debut series, we’re setting the stage for a lineup of original projects that will push the boundaries of webtoon storytelling.
    Beyond El Gato Diablo, we have plans to revisit and bring to life the original story concept that Chad and Beau first imagined in 2012. This project remains at the heart of Artifice Graphics, symbolizing our origins and our vision. In addition to releasing new stories, we aim to build a thriving community where readers can connect, discuss, and even influence future projects through feedback and interaction.
    As we grow, we’ll explore new artistic techniques, expand our storytelling formats, and engage with fans in innovative ways—including exclusive content, interactive experiences, and behind-the-scenes insights. Artifice Graphics is not just about creating comics; it’s about building a creative space where our readers become part of the journey, joining us in shaping stories that inspire, challenge, and entertain.
    With a dedicated team and a loyal community, we’re excited to see where this journey takes us. Artifice Graphics is just getting started, and we invite you to come along for the ride.
